REGARDING your article last week about the area’s new breast s c re e n in g service (BSE), 1 do wonder how many women will take up the “offer" to telephone Blackburn to make an appointment at the local health centre for an hour-long teaching session, after which they ring Black­ burn to make another appointment for a 10- minute session at the centre. We are all busy with


work/children and if a telephone is not avail­ able, it all sounds too much trouble. .After the final session it’s a DIY self-examination, return if you are hav­ ing problems. I would like to know
